<P>Another thought is to begin preparing for an ambush. Depending on the time available, the area surrounding the fort could be littered with pit traps similar to the one that worked so well before. So far, there is little indication that the C-probes themselves have a capacity to think much on their own without the aid of either their Earth based counterparts or perhaps that lander unit conatains a more adaptable AI-of course the jamming of their communication becomes critical at that point. We also have that laser. If we bring it to a place where it can jack into the solar power unit there may be a serious weapon there. (soory gail) Considering weight to thrust issues of modern rockets and the likely Chinese assumption that there would be only minor resistance up on Mars, it seems likely that the probes are only lightly armored despite their appearance. 12 of those monsters, even lightly armored, must have cost a truckload of fuel to reach escape velocity from Earth.
